In the previous life, Qingchen Cannery was originally the leading enterprise in Los Angeles City. However, with the development of the times, several private canneries appeared in Los Angeles City. However, due to its backward management, Qingchen Cannery could not compete at all. In less than half a year, it was eliminated.
Liquidated and then acquired.
Of course, the reasons for being acquired are not all due to poor management, there are some other reasons.
But the most important thing is that Qingchen Cannery is about to be acquired. If Ye Chen can't come up with the money in the near future, he can only watch Liu Yang acquire it and then grow stronger!
Of course, the reason why Ye Chen wanted to acquire the cannery was not to go against Liu Yang, but because the Qingchen Cannery at this time was indeed a hot commodity!
Therefore, he must take out the money as soon as possible. If he earns less now, he will earn less!
Thinking about it, Ye Chen opened the store and shouted and sold goods like yesterday, but there were obviously a lot less people buying. The sound from the tape recorder kept floating in the air. People passing by stopped to listen, smile, and then point and point.
People will chop their hands.
But overall, it's a lot less than yesterday. After all, the people who show up here every day are basically the same group of people.
In this era, there was no news or blog, and the spread of news could only be spread by word of mouth. There were a large number of rural markets and areas far away from the city center, and no one knew about these things!
Ye Chen wasn't in a hurry, he just had to wait for the dealer.
But I waited and waited, but there was no dealer.
Ye Chen was a little confused. Who can go out to do business these days and not have a nose that is sharper than a dog?
How could they not know about his performance in the city center? How could they not be interested if they knew about it?
This is unreasonable!
"Teacher Li, something is wrong. Let the drivers look at it first. Let's go to the mall to take a look."
Ye Chen said and left on his bicycle.
Li Quanlin hurriedly followed, and at the same time he was muttering in his heart. After making so much money, he didn't even buy a bicycle.
…
In less than half an hour, the two of them arrived at the only shopping mall in Los Angeles.
It was noon at this time, and there were still many people inside, making it very noisy.
There are many counters in the shopping mall, covering a wide range of items, such as socks, clothes, cosmetics, leather bags, etc., all of which are dazzling.
The shopping malls of this era are completely different from the shopping malls of thirty years later. At this time, the main way to buy things is to go to the counter.
Some of these counters are owned by the mall itself, and some are contracted by private parties.
Ye Chen saw a counter selling leather bags. The bags hanging on it were all from different manufacturers. It was obviously the mall's own counter at this time, so he walked up and asked: "Hello, are there any men's wallets from Red Star Factory here?"
"
The salesperson was a young girl, sitting behind the counter with a cold face. When she heard Ye Chen talking, she looked around lazily and said without raising her head, "No, no, why ask, but I don't want to buy."
Ye Chen was very displeased when he saw this. If this service attitude were to be left in the future and he was not fired, it would be the incompetence of the manager.
But there is nothing we can do now, who calls it a state-owned enterprise?
With an iron rice bowl and a dead salary, it has nothing to do with them whether anyone buys things or not. Cleanliness is the most important thing.
This level of service is only profitable now under a monopoly.
Later, a private company called Asia Mall emerged. Its service attitude was centuries ahead of these state-owned enterprises. For a while, the state-owned malls were beaten to the ground and could not get up!
It is a pity that Asia expanded blindly and eventually became a shining meteor across that era.
“Miss, could you please ask the manager here to come out?
We have a business to discuss."
Ye Chen said, handing over ten dollars.
The salesperson just wanted to tell him to get out, but when he saw the money, he swallowed the words that came to his lips. Then he looked around and quickly put them away, "Okay, you wait."
"Why?
Isn't this her duty?"
Li Quanlin said dissatisfied.
"Responsibility is something that I can't explain clearly. If you don't pay me, and people come in later and walk around and say that the manager is not here, what can you do?
If something can be solved with money, don't create extra problems," Ye Chen said calmly.
After a while, a man in a suit and jacket came out. He heard that he was discussing business, so he put a smile on his face and said, "Hello, I am the manager here, my surname is Zhang."
"Hello, Manager Zhang, there is a batch of leather bags from Red Star Factory in the city center recently, and the sales are very good, have you heard about it?"
"Yeah, I know, what's wrong?"
"I am buying that batch of goods. Now everyone thinks that the Red Star Leather Factory has closed down. The workers use real leather bags to pay their wages. It is really cheap, so they are rushing to buy it. What I mean is, can you put a batch of goods in there?
At your counter, you share the profit, of course, you can eat it directly, the price is easy to negotiate."
Ye Chen said.
Manager Zhang frowned when he heard this and asked, "Are you Ye Chen?"
Ye Chen was shocked, "Do you know me?"
"It's not that I know you, but I was informed by the superiors that your goods cannot enter our mall."
Manager Zhang said truthfully.
After saying that, Ye Chen and Li Quanlin looked at each other, why?
I haven’t offended anyone in the past two days. It can’t be Lu Huazhong!
What good will this do to him?
Thinking about it, the two of them walked out of the mall.
"What's going on?
Who did you offend?"
Li Quanlin asked doubtfully.
"I don't know either! I haven't offended anyone in the past two days. It can't be Lu Huazhong! What good will this do to him?"
Ye Chen said innocently, "Let's go and ask somewhere else."
Throughout the next afternoon, Ye Chen and Li Quanlin went to almost every place selling leather bags in Los Angeles City, including some dealers' homes. However, when these people heard that it was Ye Chen, they refused directly.
After several inquiries, Ye Chen found out that it was Liu Yang who was responsible!
On the roadside, Ye Chen was leaning against a tree and smoking a cigarette, "It turns out it's him!"
"Isn't Liu Yang your father-in-law?
It’s fine if I don’t help, why am I trying to stumble you?”
Li Quanlin said unjustly.
"It's not like you haven't heard about me. Everyone in the village knows that my son-in-law is a coward."
Ye Chen said indifferently.
"So you came out because you couldn't bear it?"
"Can't stand it?
That’s not the case. I came out to set up my own business with one purpose: to create a business empire and smash his proud Liu’s Beverage."
When Li Quanlin heard this, he felt that Ye Chen was starting to brag again, "Business empire?
And smashed Liu's drink?
If you say anything now, all the leather bag dealers in Los Angeles City will block you without making any money!"
"What kind of words do you really think Liu Yang has?
Bags and drinks are out of reach. He has been around in Los Angeles for so long, so he must have some face, but if his hands are not so long, it must be a big price to pay for these people to listen to him."
Ye Chen took a long puff of cigarette and said.
At the same time, he was also a little shocked. Was he spending such a high price just to block himself?
Theoretically, there is no conflict of interest between the two of them. They are probably going to such great lengths to vent their anger on what happened some time ago.
"Fuck, you're so petty."
Ye Chen couldn't help but take a sip.
"Then what should we do now?"
Li Quanlin asked.
"It's okay, I still have a plan b."
After Ye Chen finished speaking, he threw away the cigarette butt.
